sandy shore cover up

Because summer is still very much alive here in Jersey, I thought it would be fun to create a cover up for the beach days we are still having. The Sandy Shore Cover Up is an easy pattern to work up. It’s a fun and fast project that is made with a very unique yarn.

Disclosure: There are some affiliate links below, but these are all products I highly recommend. I won’t put anything in this post that I have not personally used or tested.

The yarn I used for the Sandy Shore Cover Up is Lion Brand’s Ribbonaire yarn. It is a polyester/nylon blend that is extremely lightweight making it perfect for this pattern. I wanted a yarn that is breathable and also has perfect drape. This yarn definitely fits the bill. It also has a gorgeous two-tone effect that is very eye catching.

I chose to keep this cover up pattern beginner friendly. The pattern consists of an eight row repeat that is worked in single crochets followed by a double crochet mesh stitch. I also added a hood for those breezy beach days. The hood is completely optional though. 

I had a lot of fun working with this yarn. It is definitely like nothing I’ve ever worked with before.  I really hope you enjoy this Sandy Shore Cover Up pattern!

NOTES

  • This pattern is worked in three pieces: The front panel, back panel and hood. The hood is completely optional
  • Pattern is worked in an 8 row repeat. There are 4 rows of sc followed by 4 rows of dc mesh stitch.
  • If you would like to make the cover up longer, simply add another 8 row repeat before you start the shoulder shaping.
  • Whenever it says to sew/seam two pieces together, always flip them inside out and whip/mattress stitch them together to get a cleaner seam. 
  • The Ch.4 to begin the dc mesh row counts as a dc plus ch.1

Row 5 – Ch.4 turn, sk first sc, dc in the next. *ch.1, sk next st, dc in the next* Repeat *across the row.

Repeat rows 1 thru 8 three more times for a total of 32 rows. 

Rows 33 & 34 – Ch.1, sc in every st across. 

Bind off leaving a long enough tail to sew hood together. 

Next, fold the rectangle vertically and sew the top of the hood together. 

For a cleaner edge, make a sc border around hood and neckline.

Bind off and weave in all ends!

      Hi! I love this pattern, and am already dreaming of the beach and I think I want to start working on a new beach cover-up. I noticed that this yarn (Ribbonaire) is discontinued. I found one available on Amazon in pink. Do you have any suggestions of another yarn that might work well? I’m afraid to choose something that will be too heavy or end up working out way too big or small if the weight isn’t the same.
      Thank you!
      P.S. your patters are always my go-to! Simple but very functional and pretty!
